Section 48 (Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools or SIAMS) inspection focuses on the effect that the Christian ethos of the church school has on the children and young people who attend it. 

Church schools will employ a variety of strategies and styles, which reflect their particular local context or church tradition in order to be distinctive and effective. Inspectors will, therefore, not be looking to apply a preconceived template of what a church school should be like.
